She may have gone to pick him up from a party because he had been drinking.

There were two other’s in the car as well:

“Police said two others, a 21-year-old man and 26-year-old woman were seriously injured. The University of Georgia Athletics confirmed that both injured people were also members of the football program. They're in stable condition.”

That looks like another player and female recruiter.

That’s entirely possible. Still some shitty hours.

Yes. This is posh crap though.

Just that the players get pretty heavily catered to. I’ve seen it firsthand as a former bartender in Athens.

Plus they don't get payed by the athletes no?but by the university that gives the players the scholarship.

Yeah no “paycheck”. There are definitely other benefits though. Just a bartender. I have little insight beyond that.

The players use Uber on a near daily basis. They might not be paid, but they definitely seem to have the funds to use Uber instead of the buses.

It doesn't matter what I think or would do. I'm just telling you that as a matter of fact, they use Ubers even when free rides are offered or available.
